Adb useful commands list

AdbCommands

adb help // List all comands

== Adb Server
adb kill-server
adb start-server 

== Adb Reboot
adb reboot
adb reboot recovery 
adb reboot-bootloader
adb root //restarts adb with root permissions

== Shell
adb shell    // Open or run commands in a terminal on the host Android device.

== Devices
adb usb
adb devices   //show devices attached
adb devices -l //devices (product/model)
adb connect ip_address_of_device

== Get device android version
adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release 

== LogCat
adb logcat
adb logcat -c // clear // The parameter -c will clear the current logs on the device.
adb logcat -d > [path_to_file] // Save the logcat output to a file on the local system.
adb bugreport > [path_to_file] // Will dump the whole device information like dumpstate, dumpsys and logcat output.

== Files
adb push [source] [destination]    // Copy files from your computer to your phone.
adb pull [device file location] [local file location] // Copy files from your phone to your computer.

== App install
adb -e install path/to/app.apk

-d                        - directs command to the only connected USB device...
-e                        - directs command to the only running emulator...
-s <serial number>        ...
-p <product name or path> ...
The flag you decide to use has to come before the actual adb command:

=== Few bash snippets ===
@Source (https://jonfhancock.com/bash-your-way-to-better-android-development-1169bc3e0424)

=== Using tail -n
//Use tail to remove the first line. Actually two lines. The first one is just a newline. The second is “List of devices attached.”
$ adb devices | tail -n +2

=== Using cut -sf
// Cut the last word and any white space off the end of each line.
$ adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1

=== Using xargs -I
// Given the -I option, xargs will perform an action for each line of text that we feed into it.
// We can give the line a variable name to use in commands that xargs can execute.
$ adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 | xargs -I X echo X aw yiss

=== Three options below together
// Will print android version of all connected devices
adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell getprop ro.build.version.release  

=== Using alias
-- Example 1 
alias tellMeMore=echo
tellMeMore "hi there"
Output => hi there
-- Example 2
// Define alias
alias apkinstall="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X install -r $1"
// And you can use it later 
apkinstall ~/Downloads/MyAppRelease.apk  // Install an apk on all devices
-- Example 3
alias rmapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X uninstall $1"
rmapp com.example.myapp // Uninstall a package from all devices
-- Example 4
alias clearapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell pm clear $1"
clearapp com.example.myapp  // Clear data on all devices (leave installed)
-- Example 5
alias startintent="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell am start $1"
startintent https://twitter.com/JonFHancock // Launch a deep link on all devices


Setting up your .bash_profile
Finally, to make this all reusable even after rebooting your computer (aliases only last through the current session), we have to add these to your .bash_profile. You might or might not already have a .bash_profile, so let’s make sure we append to it rather than overwriting it. Just open a terminal, and run the following command

touch .bash_profile && open .bash_profile

This will create it if it doesn’t already exist, and open it in a text editor either way. Now just copy and paste all of the aliases into it, save, and close.

alias startintent="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell am start $1"
alias apkinstall="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X install -r $1"
alias rmapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X uninstall $1"
alias clearapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell pm clear $1"

@Basu-max likely not with the adb binary. I could imagine a scenario where you wrote a console program that proxies through to adb but only supported a restricted list of functions...

@Basu-max likely not with the adb binary. I could imagine a scenario where you wrote a console program that proxies through to adb but only supported a restricted list of functions...

Thanks for the reply.
Right. Specially I was wondering if it is possible to configure the ADB demon to remove/disable modules that remove/disable specific CMDs. This would prevent a proxy program.
Objective is to secure ADB by restricting to a pre configured ADM CMD list.
Adding a proxy program to mask CMDs while ADB present would not meet the objective.

adb would, indeed, not meet the objective. In fact, you'll need developer mode turned on at the device to even connect, so this may not be the solution you are looking for.

Depending on the nature of the command, you could also remove / disable the command while you are in the system through adb. It is a linux system, after all.

Just wanted to share this command to force-stop all user installed apps:

If you're running from within the emulator
pm list packages -3 | awk -F "package:" '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 am force-stop

If you're running via adb:
adb shell pm list packages -3 | awk -F "package:" '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 adb shell am force-stop

Hello, Is there any command that adds a google account?

How to use & in adb shell input text 'asdas&'?
I am trying to insert a text which contains &. But it is not working.
Note:
%, $, #, '@' etc. special characters are working well except ^, & characters in text value for adb input.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the command do disable auto update the app

Package wise

adb shell pm disable-user –user 0 <package_name>

Stop auto-update for all apps

adb shell pm disable-user com.android.vending

How to use & in adb shell input text 'asdas&'? I am trying to insert a text which contains &. But it is not working. Note: %, $, #, '@' etc. special characters are working well except ^, & characters in text value for adb input.

adb shell input text 'foo\&'
adb shell input text 'foo\^'
adb shell input text 'foo\&^'
adb shell input text 'foo\&\^'
adb shell echo Hello "\&" World
adb shell echo Hello \& World

On Older Devices the below command probably works fine as well

adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_AMPERSAND

Yeh but... how do you connect to Android shell as it doesn't give name as IP address when you do adb devices so you can't just use that right? Can't find that information but I was doing it before?

You need to connect to your device via adb connect

adb connect <ip>:<port> 

First you need to enable tcp mode as below with usb cable connected

• Plugin USB and execute

adb tcpip 5555

• Remove USB Cable and connect to your device via network:

adb connect <ip>:5555

• Now you can work with your device via network, enter shell as usual:

adb shell

⚠ WARNING: *Don't forget to DISCONNECT when you have finished debugging.
You can be in danger and may be listed at shodan.io and other sites similiar to shodan if you will keep tcpip be running in background. We can find your device via a simple portscan via masscan or similiar tools, so use below command when you are done in shell:

adb disconnect 

To show you the danger with keep tcp mode running, for more tips to stay safe you can visit the below url for get latest commands since some are out of date I see here:

https://wuseman.github.io/adb-cheatsheet/

• You can copy and paste in any terminal and you are connected to a random device that has tcpip running without device owners knowledge, there is no way to figure out wihtout list connected devices ON the device. Therefore, take my warning seriously! Within ~1-3 seconds you have connected to a device.

Now imagine if we use xargs -n1 -P20, then we connect to 20 device at same time. So be careful!!

Wow thank you so much! I was using adb shell but i'll keep disconnect in mind for protection (I do put my laptop to sleep and can keep shell open for a long time so it's good to know the dangers..)

Hi, How can I turn on airplane mode using adb commands !!
I had tried many commands, but it actually only changing the icon, it is not turning off radio signal !!

Hi, How can I turn on airplane mode using adb commands !! I had tried many commands, but it actually only changing the icon, it is not turning off radio signal !!

Hi.

Interesting find.

Does the icon become brighter than usual when you use the command via adb in notification center for airplane_mode @muhammedbasilek ?

No, it slightly dim when it turns on.

@muhammedbasilek

Hi again, I finally I figured this out, please try:

Get airplane mode

adb shell cmd connectivity airplane-mode                                                  
disabled

Turn airplane mode enable/disable

adb shell cmd connectivity airplane-mode enable                     
adb shell cmd connectivity airplane-mode disable 

@wuseman

Sorry it is still not working !!
Tested on OnePlus10T 5G.

@wuseman

Sorry it is still not working !! Tested on OnePlus10T 5G.

You must provide a little more information otherwise it is difficult to help.

• Did: adb shell cmd connectivity airplane-mode - work or did you get any error message?

If command was ${{\color{green}{OK}}}$ did you try:

adb shell cmd connectivity airplane-mode enable

..If the command was ${{\color{cyan}{valid}}}$

adb shell cmd connectivity airplane-mode

Was the value changed in shell?

• 2. Which Android version do you have installed?

Thanks again !!

Cool, I thought it was a bit strange otherwise.
You welcome, cheers :)

Occasionally screencap stops working, producing a 0 filesize png file instead of one with data.
Right now the only way I can resolve this is by rebooting the device, but wondering if it's possible to restart this screencap service via adb shell somehow?

What command are you using when you using screencap and it gives you a 0 byte file?

adb shell screencap > screen.png

I’ve got a loop that fires that command once per second.

Works at first but after a few minutes of my script running the screen captures start coming in broken.

Ok, I just tried and it seems to works fine for one capture at least.

Try this inside your script:

adb exec-out screencap -p > screen.png

Yeah that works for me as well. It’s just my script looping so fast it seems to crash the screencap process somehow. The only way I’ve found so far is to reboot the system to get screencap working again. Was hoping that I could just send a shell command to restart the specific service instead. Something like adb shell screencap_service restart

I see, if you would show us your script or the function for your screencap we probably can give you better support.

You want to take a screencap every second or what are you trying when it wont take captures anymore?

You running this in a while loop without delay?

I'm doing this in a while loop with a half-second delay. It will work for a few minutes and then ultimately the image file is corrupted and my script crashes, so I force a reboot on the device.

while run:
  try:
    loop += 1
    print('loop count ', loop)
    #save image to memory
    im_b64 = device1.exec_out('screencap -p | base64')
    im_bytes = base64.b64decode(im_b64)
    im_file = BytesIO(im_bytes)
    image = Image.open(im_file)
    # crop image
    image1 = image.crop((1520, 860, 1920, 980)) # left top right bottom
    im = numpy.asarray(image1)
    # extract text from image
    text = pytesseract.image_to_string(im)
    print(text)
    if "Skip" in text:
      device1.shell('input tap 1640 950')
      print("Skip clicked!")
      logging.info("Commercial Skipped")
      if loop > 1800: 
          # each loop is about 1s so 1800 is 30 minutes
          run = False
          logging.info("Skipper stopping after 30 minutes")
      time.sleep(0.5)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        run = False
        logging.error('App Crashed: ' + e)
        # error with android device, reboot to fix
        device1.reboot()
